Winter Restaurant Week 2009 Extends Deep into February

Restaurant Week was supposed to end tonight, but it's now been officially extended into next month. Over 150 participating restaurants will continue offering three course prix-fixe lunches for $24.07 and three-course prix-fixe dinners for $35.00 (excluding beverage, tax and gratuity) through February 27th. Some restaurants had already announced their intention to keep the special menus to stay alive as the economy goes up in flames while driving off the edge of a cliff into an erupting volcano. Wined and Dined has an abbreviated roundup of some of the participating restaurants and their individual quirks. Monday nights, for instance, are BYO at Apiary (pictured), with no-corkage fee; the East Village eatery recently hired a new chef, Scott Bryan, formerly of Veritas. And Serafina at Time Hotel is offering two complimentary glasses of wine with each prix-fixe meal. Their desperation is your gain! Peruse the entire roll call of participants at NYC Go.
